Calling from a function with the own parameters

Description

gsi.filtercall gives those arguments of the arguments of the calling function to called function that are made for this function. It is possible to modify the parameters on the flight.

Usage

gsi.filtercall(fkt,...,overwrite=NULL,
               transmit=character(0),default=list(...),
               prefix=if(is.character(fkt)) fkt else NULL)

Arguments

fkt	a function or a name of a function to be called
...	default arguments, which are used if not overwritten by own arguments
overwrite	a named list overwriting arguments provided in any other way
transmit	a character vector containing all named arguments that should be given to fkt, although they are not formal parameters of fkt
default	the list of default parameters to be used if not otherwise specified
prefix	the user can specify arguments for fkt explicitly by prefixing them with prefix.. Typically the prefix is the name of the function

Details

gsi.filtercall is a kind of R technology help. It allows to pass parameters in a ... fashion with less effort, more robustness and more control, since one does not need to copy all explicitly-given parameters. It simply manages the ...-parameters accepted by fkt, allowing for giving default values, or overwriting specific parameters without need to mention them in the formal arguments. This also helps to clarify the documentation of fkt.

Value

The value of a call to fkt with those parameters modified by gsi.filtercall itself

Note

Do not use gsi.* functions directly since they are internal functions of the package. However I would like to propose a function like this to become standard technology

Examples

#	fxy <- function(x,y) x+y
#	fxz <- function(x,z) x*z
#	fxyz <- function(...) {
#	   list(gsi.filtercall("fxy"),gsi.filtercall("fxz"))
#        }	 
#	fxyz(x=1,y=2,z=7)
#	fxyz(x=1,fxz.x=2,y=10,z=55)
